I'm seeing this appearing in the Node-RED log -

![widget](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/0/4/048589a5bf792166a227a5b514158401f8305b47.jpeg)

Any chance of providing a few more debug details to indicate where to start looking pls.  
It appears to repeat whenever I open a particular dashboard page.

Dashboard-2 v1.8.0

I am seeing that too, every time I switch pages.

I may of not noticed it in the log earlier, but noticed it since updating to v1.8.0

Is that the same for you @Colin

Thanks for raising Paul - I'll take a look today and see what's triggering this

Problem found - working to fix it now - it's nothing on your side, but linked to the `ui-notification` I added into handle connection drops. It's sending a `widget-load` event to the `ui-base`, and the `ui-base` isn't recognising it, so assumes it's a deleted node.
